Come on out; the weather is fine

We got an all-too-rare treat this past weekend; our beautiful and brilliant friends from Chicago, RS and SWS, came down for their first visit to our corner of West Tennessee.

We had a lovely time--lots of conversation, lots of grilled food and quaffables. We here at Luigi's Mansion really enjoyed being able to share some of our space and some rural quiet. And the weather on Saturday could not have been better--cool, breezy, and no humidity. It was also fun to take them around, show them the campus, the other neighborhoods in town, the Rural King. Didn't make it to the DQ, though. Got to save something for next time, I guess!

One of several great moments: watching The Little Boy and S spin around in the back yard, then seeing them both collapse in laughter in the grass (well, technically Lespedeza, but in our backyard, if it's green, it counts as grass!).

Thanks for coming, R & S. Sidney says he'll give up his room anytime you want to come again. Simon says only if there's no cuddling involved.

Now see here - Simon's just going to have to learn to deal with intimacy. Edmund and Tali have, and Sidney has (sort of).

Loved our time there. Thanks for hosting -- BTW, we just 5 minutes ago finished off the cake. Pesto was last night, using that fresh basil.

Yumster!

The tomato's slowly getting ripe. I love looking at it and smelling it. Thanks for sending all the goodies back to Chi-town with us.

The weekend was about as perfect as it could be, for as short as it was. What a delight it was.

BTW, we're holding you all personally responsible for the Mananana Phenomenon.
